We left the cabin and did some sightseeing in the area around where we were staying. The town was a small mountain town with just a few thousand people. Like most other towns, it had a small and very old downtown area filled with antique shops and locally owned eateries and boutiques. We decided to save exploring town for after the train ride. So, we just drove around looking at the mountains, and streams, and even found a few small waterfalls that always seem to have cold mountain water flowing over them.
Before we knew it, it was time to board the train. We rushed into town, and found our way to the small train depot to retrieve our boarding passes. This train is a real steam driven locomotive. It's strictly for tourism since the rail line doesn't really go anywhere as it was abandoned long ago. Soon we were on our way, and the rail line followed along side a large lake. As it winded through the terrain we crossed several bridges, and through a few tunnels.
We were treated with a light box lunch that I pre-selected when I made the reservations over a month prior. It was a little under 2hrs to our destination at a rafting and adventure center that was tucked away deep in the mountains. This in the end of the rail line also, and as the groups of people toured the grounds, the train left the depot and went to a turnaround area for our return trip back to town. We had about an hour to enjoy the layover stop which is filled with touristy trinkets and souvenirs to buy. We browsed but didn't really buy anything.
Soon the train whistles were blowing signaling us to reboard for the trip back down the mountain. It was a gorgeous ride back but it went by much quicker than expected. I remember just watching my wife's emotions on her face as she peered out and into the wilderness. The sunlight through the trees lit her face up, and for a while she sat with her eyes closed just breathing in the mountain air. I could see a tear well up in her eye just before she opened them again. She was truly at peace for those few peaceful moments. The stress of life had escaped her, and she was one with nature if only for a brief time. She looked happy. She is a beautiful woman, and at that moment I loved her deeper than I ever had before.
Our train ride ended about 4hrs after it began and we explored the small town for a few more hours after. We found a really neat ice cream shop, and each got a scoop of ice cream for while we walked around town. About halfway through the afternoon we decided to return to the cabin to relax. We got back to the cabin, and I was exhausted. I found myself relaxing on the leather couch watching some college football on the TV. My wife made herself a large glass of red wine, and went outside to sit on the porch.
I guess it was about an hour later or so when she silently came through the door, and straight to me. She left the door to the cabin standing wide open. She took the TV remote from me and turned off the TV. She straddled me, and put her arms around my shoulders and she kissed me deeply. She was horny, and wanted sex right then! Come to find out, as I sat in the living room watching football, she was outside drinking her wine, and watching erotic videos on her cell phone. She got herself worked up, and then came inside to get off.
